Feeding support for newborns with a small-bowel stoma
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how to provide nutrition by mouth or through a feeding tube (enteral feeding) for babies who have a small-bowel stoma (an opening made for stool to leave the body). It may help babies grow and get adequate nutrition while they recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 0 to 6 months old
- Your baby has a small-bowel ostomy (a stoma made after birth)
- The stoma was created for medical reasons, not for a different diagnosis than the trial expects
- Your baby does not have major liver problems
- Your baby does not have major kidney problems
- Your baby does not have multiple major birth defects or a chromosomal condition

This trial studies whether a specific feeding approach helps babies start full tube feeding sooner after surgical closure of an enterostomy (a stoma). It may help reduce the time until your baby is fully fed through the gut.
This study observes how premature babies respond during feeding through a tube into their stomach. It may help improve care for babies who need this type of feeding.
This study tests whether a combination of a stool transplant (washed microbiota transplantation) plus liquid nutrition through a feeding tube can help people with gastroptosis who are also malnourished. The goal is to improve stomach function and nutrition.
This trial tests adding fiber to liquid food given through a stoma before stoma reversal surgery. The goal is to see if it helps improve the balance of good bacteria in the gut.
This study compares two ways of giving tube feedings — through the nose or through the mouth — to premature babies who are just starting to eat. It aims to see if one method is gentler and helps babies feed better.
This study looks at whether a simple stool test and a heart monitor can help doctors predict a serious bowel condition in premature babies who are having trouble feeding. It aims to find early signs so treatment can start sooner.
